Raising Xmas Fulu fry tips?

[Joshuakahan]

I just got my first batch of Xmas fulu fry about an hr ago, it was a small batch , maybe 9 or 10. I have experience raising peacock cichlid fry, but these are my first vics. I’ve done my research, but if anyone has any tips or pointers, it’s appreciated

I also have another female holding that should be spitting them out any day now, my male knocked them both up the same day lol

nice. no difference to peacocks. are you gonna strip them or let the female release them? what will the female be kept in?

I have a a group of 3 females and one male in a 40b. I moved the holding females to their own 10g , I’m not comfortable stripping since I have poor eye sight, so when this female spit them out, I put her back in the 40, I’ll do the same when the second female spits them out. I’m planning on raising the fry in the 10s for about a month then moving them to a 40 to grow out to about 1.5-2” then sell them. I have a few connections that should make selling fairly easy.That’s how I did it with my peacocks, you think it will work with vics as well?
